THE PLOT

The story revolved around Sanam played by Hania Aamir who was shown to be a beautiful and bubbly young girl; who used to flirt with boys just for fun. Junaid who was a shopkeeper (played by Shahroz Sabzwari),  Ayaz the photographer (played by Asad Siddiqui) and Sabi, Sanam’s cousin who was quite older than Sanam (played by Mohib Mirza) were the boys who were ready to lay their lives for Sanam.

Sanam on the other hand got married to her handsome cousin Razi (played by Nabeel Zubari), who when came across Sanam’s reality, had a car accident and died.

Sanam’s parent made her marry another rich and dashing man Khurram (played by Syed Jibran) who turned out to be a complete rogue.

Sanam decided not to be faithful to an unfaithful man and starts seeing another boy, took divorce from her husband, but the boy Farhaad (played by Raeed Muhammad Alam) also turns out to be a fraud.

Impotent Sanam when arrived her parents house her brother denied to keep her. Sanam started living in her pupho’s house reslizes her mistakes, seeks forgiveness from Allah and her cousin Sabi proposed her once again. The drama ended on a high note, through out the drama everyone called Sanam a characterless girl for having affairs with boys in the end Sanam while slamming one of her Ex Lover said that she is not the only one responsible for it, all men who were involved with her were equally responsible, one cannot clap with just one hand. The drama had a happy ending.

CONCLUSION

After 4 episodes, Dilruba has been fast-paced and entertaining, where the focus has been on establishing characters than taking the story forward. It would be great if the next episode deals with Asad Siddiqui’s character who isn’t what he seems; the audience is anxiously waiting for Syed Jibran’s entry because he can raise the bar with his performance in front of any actor and Ranjha Ranjha Kardi was a proof of that. One also hopes that Hania Aamir’s Sanam leaves college soon, and the story moves around the many ways she will make the boys do stupid things. What story she concocts to get them to do her bidding and how do they respond, that will hold the key in the coming weeks.

If we see the acting, all of them have done good job but sometimes the friends of Sanam are irritating and sometimes Sanam’s character also irritates the audience. What is she like that was in my mind. Besides, story and direction portion is nice to see. Overall, I love the serial.
